Canberra (Acton) is the main ACT / NSW meeting to be run this Friday, it is to be run on the Acton surface which is the Synthetic that they have in Canberra and after the first meeting there a few weeks ago it should play fairly. The rail is true and well, the track is syntho.

Best Roughie: R2 – 2. NOTRE REVE

R1 – 12.00pm. MERCEDES-BENZ CANBERRA BENCHMARK 60 HANDICAP - 1900m.

No2 ALFDEN (NEXT BEST BET) stormed over the top of them last start and won well against the bias two weeks ago at this track and distance, he had been coming out of some harder races than that and was entitled to do that. He gets a good claim here and is hard to beat.

No5 ESSENCE PREVAIL was disappointing last week at Wagga when fav. He comes to a weaker race here and is trained on the track.

No6 ILLYRIAN was good in the race behind Alfden last start and again has a chance here.

No3 BILL 'N' EVE

VALUE RUNNER:No1 LITTLE RED DEVIL

R2 –12.35pm. CASINO CANBERRA CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1080m.

No6 STAR ASPIRATION is proven that he can handle the track and just trotted in last start. He looks drawn to get a perfect run yet again here and is hard to beat.

No1 BALLETUSA has been a touch disappointing in both runs for Dale so far, maybe back to her home track can help.

No2 NOTRE REVE (BEST ROUGHIE) wasn’t given much of a chance in all starts last time in, he joins a new stable here and has the ability.

No3 OUR FINVARRA was too far back last start and wasn’t able to build momentum into the race there. The form around her is good enough.

VALUE RUNNER:No2 NOTRE REVE

R3 – 1.10pm. XXXX GOLD BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP - 1280m.

No5 ATLANTIC SENTINEL has been going well enough in solid enough races as of late and has the experience on the track to have a chance.

No3 IMPERIOUS should find this much easier than the last start at Wagga, if he runs along he has his chance.

No2 NOT A HINT comes out of a good race at Wagga last start where he was well fancied. This looks easier than that.

No1 OVERDANE has the most ability of any horse here but does have the big weight, if he’s right he can win this.

VALUE RUNNER:No2 NOT A HINT

R4 – 1.50pm. JOHN McGRATH AUTO GROUP MAIDEN HANDICAP – 1080m.

No9 I AM KALANI (BEST BET) did a brilliant job in her first 2yo trial in preparation for a debut run when trialing against older horses two weeks ago. She did it pretty easily and looked to have a lot if improvement in her. More importantly she handled the track.

No1 PRINCE JACKO has s good SP profile but seems to have the winning post and he will be short again here.

No3 SILVER CLOUD THREE was good enough last start and handled the track well and has a chance again.

No6 PELOPONNESE started short last start and looked as if she would improve for the run, if she handles the going she is a chance.
